VTG now employs 1,500 people and grows its intelligence community footprint with this acquisition.
VTG has acquired a developer of radio frequency products and other solutions to further build out the buyer’s portfolio of cyber and signals intelligence offerings.
Triaplex also brings to VTG an added intelligence community footing and increases the latter company’s workforce to approximately 1,500 people. Other terms of the transaction announced Wednesday were not disclosed.
For VTG, this represents purchase number four since private equity firm Alvarez & Marshal Capital became its majority owner in the fall of 2023.
"Acquiring Triaplex enables VTG to tackle emerging national security challenges and highlights our continued investments in the advanced technical capabilities and expertise the intelligence community needs most,” VTG chief executive John Hassoun said in a release.
Triaplex’s corporate headquarters are in Fulton, Maryland. Since its start in 2020, Triaplex has concentrated on products and solutions to protect physical infrastructure and digital systems from the thread of radio frequency hacking.
Triaplex designs its software and devices to work across cellular networks and cloud infrastructures, while also incorporating techniques for detection and mitigation of intrusions.
